The basics are pasta tossed in a little butter, ricotta & parmesan cheese. Then you top it with any cooked veggie, preferably cooked in a savory way, like a grilled zucchini (like I did last night) or a steamed spinach with a bit of butter (like I did last week). Some other ideas that I think would be marvelous - sauteed peppers, roasted broccoli, grilled onions, or sauteed peas.<br /><br />Serves 4 (with leftovers)<br />$12<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients</span><br /><ul><li>12 oz pasta of choice<br /></li><li>1 Tbls butter for the pasta<br /></li><li>1 cup ricotta</li><li>1/2 - 1 cup grated parmesan (I like more parmesan, but it's a little salty for some folks)</li><li>12 oz - 1 lb of your vegetable of choice (we'll go spinach here)</li><li>1/2 tbls butter for the spinach<br /></li><li>Salt & Pepper to taste</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions<br /></span><ol><li>Cook the pasta according to the directions</li><li>Strain and place in a serving bowl, covering so you can retain a little moisture</li><li>Rinse the spinach and steam it over low heat in the empty noodle pot using just the water sticking to the leaves (takes about 3-5 minutes)<br /></li><li>Mix together the ricotta and parmesan in a small bowl</li><li>Toss the pasta with the cheese mixture</li><li>Salt & pepper to taste<br /></li><li>When the spinach is done, mix a 1/2 Tbls butter</li><li>Put a scoop of the veggies on top of a scoop of pasta</li><li>Enjoy!<br /></li></ol>Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11959078574460485085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856983174099613104.post-66317116337127355092010-07-09T09:06:00.000-07:002010-07-09T09:29:27.230-07:00Mushroom Zucchini TacosThis recipe is so simple and so robust, I think I'm going to add it it the regular rotation (as long as zucchini is in season:). Right now I'm still using the canned Muir Glen Fire Roasted Tomatoes since we haven't had any West Coast tomatoes in the stores yet, but if you're making this during tomato season, you can make your own on the grill or under the broiler.<br /><br />The beautiful thing about making tacos or burritos like this is that they're so flavorful you really don't have to worry about the side dish. Just some black beans and corn tortillas an you're all set!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Serves 4</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">$10</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients</span><br /><ul><li>1 TBLS Organic Olive Oil</li><li>Organic White Onions - Sliced Thin</li><li>1/2 lb Portabella Mushrooms - Sliced Thin</li><li>2 Organic Zucchini Squash - Peeled and Diced<br /></li><li>1x14 oz can Organic Fire Roasted Tomatoes</li><li>1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce</li><li>Organic Corn Tortillas</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions</span><br /><ol><li>Heat the olive oil over medium heat and saute the onions until they begin to soften - about 5 minutes</li><li>Throw in the mushrooms and stir it all up.

There are so many delicious flavors to taste out there, why would you limit yourself to a standard weekly or monthly menu? I do keep a chart of everything I cook that I'd like to cook again. When I'm stuck I open it up and see what sounds good (to date it has about 60 tried and true recipes in it). That being said, this basic tomato sauce is one of my stand-by's. I probably make this once every two weeks or so.<br /><br />With this easy recipe, you'll never have to buy pasta sauce in a jar again! It's so easy, fast, and tasty you'll wonder how so few ingredients can make your tummy so happy. I like to serve this with conchiglie pasta (shell looking) since it catches nice little bowls of sauce. I use the basil from the plant I keep on the window sill, which makes this a super cheap dinner, but even if you have to buy basil at the store it's still a winner!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Serves 4</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">$10</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients</span><br /><ul><li>1x14 oz can organic whole tomatoes</li><li>2 cloves organic garlic - diced or pressed</li><li>a pinch of sugar</li><li>a pinch of salt</li><li>a dozen fresh organic basil leaves - torn<br /></li><li>2 glugs of olive oil</li><li>16 oz pasta of choice</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions</span><br /><ol><li>Pour the tomatoes with the juice from the pan into a 12 inch pan</li><li>Add the garlic, sugar and salt.

This was great, and along with some breakfast potatoes (russets, sweet potatoes and roasted garlic cloves...but that's for another day) 6 of us ate for under $20! The key to a good frittata is to start on the stove and finish up in the oven (preferably under the broiler)<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Serves 4-6</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">$13</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients<br /></span><ul><li>1 good glug of olive oil<br /></li><li>1 medium onion - chopped<br /></li><li>1/2 lb asparagus cut into 1/2 inch pieces</li><li>1 dozen eggs</li><li>1/4 lb deli ham - cut into bite sized pieces</li><li>1/4 lb swiss cheese - shredded</li><li>1/4 cup whole milk or cream (whatever's handy)</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions<br /></span><ol><li>Preheat broiler to high</li><li>Heat olive oil in a 12 inch oven safe pan over medium-high heat</li><li>Toss in the onion and cook until soft; 6-8 minutes</li><li>Throw in the asparagus pieces and saute them about 4 minutes until they soften up a bit<br /></li><li>Beat the eggs and milk together, then add a dash of salt and pepper and mix in the cheese</li><li>Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it set a few seconds then stir it scraping the bottom & sides of pan.

A big shout out to Shari at <a href="http://dancingrootsfarm.com/">Dancing Roots Farm</a> for our wonderful veggies! We had a great haul this week - Salad Greens, radishes, spinach, pea greens, kale and a tomato plant. We made up a great salad with all the greens and radishes and shared that with our friends. I made kale and potato soup and it was excellent, so I thought I'd share that one here.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Serves 4</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">$6</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients<br /></span><ul><li>A couple of glugs of olive oil<br /></li><li>1 medium onion - chopped<br /></li><li>2 cloves garlic - diced or pressed</li><li>5 cups liquid (I did 3 cups stock + 2 cups water, but you can do any combination you like)<br /></li><li>1.5 lbs organic potatoes - peeled & quartered<br /></li><li>1 bunch of kale sliced into strips</li><li>Salt & Pepper to taste</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions</span><br /><ol><li>Heat the oil in a pot over medium-high heat</li><li>Toss in the onion and cook until soft - about 6 minutes</li><li>Stir in the garlic and cook another minute</li><li>Pour in your liquid and bring to a boil</li><li>Put your potatoes in and bring it back to a good simmer, but not a full boil</li><li>Cook until the potatoes are fork tender (that means you can stick a fork in it pretty easily)</li><li>Use a potato masher or other flattish kitchen utensil and smash all the potatoes up</li><li>Add the Kale and simmer for another 5 minutes</li><li>Salt & Pepper to taste</li><li>Enjoy!<br /></li></ol>Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11959078574460485085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856983174099613104.post-76286635867772750352010-04-26T07:20:00.000-07:002010-06-08T09:19:58.254-07:00Easy Chickpea CurryI made this Friday night and we put it into some pita bread for a nice picnic at the park. I served it with spinach and plain yogurt wrapped up inside. You could also put it over rice for a weeknight sit down. The spice is around a medium here. Feel free to tone it up with a little more ginger, garlic and jalepeno, or tone it down with a little less curry powder. To make the curry paste, I use my little kitchen-aid chopper, but you can also just chop it all up as small as possible if you don't have one<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Serves 4</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">$6</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span>1 Tbls olive oil<br />1/2 small organic onion - diced<br />3 organic garlic cloves - minced<br />1 tsp minced organic ginger<br />1/2 organic jalapeno - minced<br />1 Tbls curry powder<br />1 x 14.5 oz can diced organic tomatoes<br />1 x 25 oz can organic chickpeas<br />Salt and Pepper to taste<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions<br /><br /></span><ol><li>Put the olive oil over medium heat in a pan on the stove<br /></li><li>If you're using the food processor, put in the onion, garlic, ginger and jalapeno and pulse it until it's a nice paste (about 15-20 seconds).

It's got such a comforting complex flavor but is so easy to make! The nice short list of ingredients makes it fit the budget! I like to cut up the chicken into bite sized pieces before browning, but you can cook them whole as well. This is great over rice, egg noodles (or egg dumplings if you can find them)<br /><br />Serves 6 - $17<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients</span><br /><ul><li>1 large organic onion - chopped</li><li>2 Tbls olive oil</li><li>3 Tbls Hungarian Paprika</li><li>1 tsp salt</li><li>1/4 tsp pepper<br /></li><li>3 lbs Chicken Thighs<br /></li><li>1 cup Organic Chicken Stock</li><li>1/2 cup water<br /></li><li>2 chopped organic tomatoes (or 1x14.5 oz can)</li><li>1 cup organic sour cream</li><li>Rice, noodles or egg dumplings for 6<br /></li></ul><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions<br /></span><ol><li>Heat the olive oil in a medium to large sized pot over medium-high heat</li><li>Throw in the chopped onion and cook until soft - about 10 minutes</li><li>Add the chicken, paprika, salt and pepper and stir it until the chicken and onions are coated in seasony goodness</li><li>Cook the chicken about 6 minutes stirring occassionally until lightly browned</li><li>Put in your chicken stock, water and tomatoes and bring to a boil</li><li>Begin cooking your rice or noodles (Put this here so you don't forget you need something to put this goodness on:)<br /></li><li>Reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, juicy and tender</li><li>Remove from heat and stir in your sour cream</li><li>Enjoy!<br /></li></ol>Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11959078574460485085noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856983174099613104.post-9043112134342055322010-03-30T13:07:00.000-07:002010-03-30T13:31:21.088-07:00Traditional Ragu BologneseHey everybody!

It's such a mash-up of flavors, but it really works! We had this for dinner with some nice crusty bread. The whole thing was ready in 45 minutes from first onion slice to first spoonful in my tummy!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients</span><br />1 large onion<br />olive oil<br />4 cloves of garlic<br />3 slices Pancetta<br />a small bunch of flat-leafed parsley<br />½ lb French Green Lentils<br />32 ounces of stock<br />3 big handfuls of spinach<br />1 lemon<br />a small bunch of mint<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions</span><br /><br />Peel and finely chop the onions and garlic. Toss some olive oil in a medium sized pot and throw them in over medium heat. Dice up the bacon and throw it in when the veggies have softened a little. Cook until the veggies and bacon have all browned nicely.<br /><br />Chop up the parsley and throw it in the pot. Wash the lentils and stir them in too. Pour the stock in and bring the whole shabang to a boil. Turn the heat down so it's at a nice simmer and partially cover with a lid. Cook for about 30 minutes until the lentils are tender (but not too tender)!<br /><br />Rinse and quickly steam the spinach in a separate shallow pan with a lid. Squeeze it dry and divide it evenly between the soup bowls - you'll pour the soup right on top.<br /><br />Season the soup with salt, pepper, lemon juice and the torn mint leaves. Taste as you go and call it good when it's good! Serve over the spinach and enjoy.Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11959078574460485085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856983174099613104.post-65362681281102012542009-08-25T07:24:00.000-07:002010-06-08T09:13:29.848-07:00Peas with Fettuccine, Basil & Sunflower SeedsThis recipe comes from Nigel Slater's Real Fast Food and is ready start to finish in less than 30 minutes.

This is probably the one thing I cook that makes Brooke classify me as a kitchen genius (I don't think she's actually ever said that, but oh well:). It's really easy too, it just takes a little more work than your standard vegetable fair. It's so good, if you make a big batch of it, it can be it's own side dish instead of a vegetable accompaniment. You can do this on the grill too, instead of roasting it in the oven - just grill on indirect heat for about 15 minutes or until it starts to blacken on the edges.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Serves 4<br />$5<br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients</span><br /><ul><li>1 Big Bunch Organic Broccoli - Cut into big florets</li><li>1 Organic Lemon</li><li>From the cupboard - 1.5 Tbls Olive oil, 2 cloves garlic - peeled & pressed, 1 tsp Salt & pepper to taste</li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions</span><br /><ol><li>Preheat the oven to 425 or preheat the grill for indirect heat<br /></li><li>Put the broccoli in a good sized bowl and pour the olive oil on top.

This Vegetable Jumbalaya does the trick too, since it's spicy enough that I might forget there's no meat in it.

I love it at 8am, noon, 4pm & sometimes after a wild night at 2am as well (although that usually involves the Original Hotcake House, which if you're ever been there, is about the furthest thing from organic you can find). Corned beef hash is one of my all time faves as well - serve this meal with a couple of eggs over medium and some toast and your in heaven. You can serve this with steamed broccoli in or alongside and make it a great dinner meal as well.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Serves 4</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">$13<br /><br />Ingredients<br /></span><ul><li>1 Large Organic Onion - Diced<br /></li><li>1 Organic Bell Pepper - Seeded & Diced<br /></li><li>3 Large Organic Russet Potatoes - Washed & cut into 1/2 inch cubes<br /></li><li>1/2 lb Deli Sliced Corned Beef - Roughly chopped<br /></li><li>From the Pantry - Olive Oil, Garlic cloves - peeled & diced, hot sauce (the Aardvark is amazing with this dish)<br /></li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions</span><br /><ol><li>Heat up some oil and throw in the diced onion, bell pepper and garlic and saute for 10 minutes</li><li>Toss in the cubed potatoes and stir</li><li>Cook the potatoes on medium high until tender for 20 minutes</li><li>Mix in the chopped corned beef and cook until the potatoes are tender - 5-10 more minutes</li><li>Fry up some eggs and throw them on top</li><li>Hot sauce, salt & pepper to taste<br /></li></ol>Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11959078574460485085noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4856983174099613104.post-4766392275729348352009-07-28T13:53:00.000-07:002009-07-28T14:09:20.025-07:00African Peanut SoupIf you've been to a McMenamins in Oregon and you've been able to steer clear of the fries with your blue cheese and bacon burger, you may have had this as your soup option. It's pretty much the best meal in a bowl I've ever had, and it's rich enough to stand alone for dinner with some bread and salad greens.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Serves 4 for dinner or 6 as a before meal<br />$17<br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ingredients</span><br /><ul><li>1 Medium Organic Onion - chopped</li><li>1 Large Organic Carrot - diced</li><li>1 rib of celery - chopped<br /></li><li>1 bell pepper - seeded & chopped</li><li>32 oz Organic Free Range Chicken Broth</li><li>1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter</li><li>2 large tomatoes - chopped</li><li>1 chicken breast - cooked and chopped</li><li style="font-family: arial;">From the cupboard - 1 cup milk, cayenne pepper, salt & pepper<span style="line-height: 115%;font-size:12;color:black;" ></span></li></ul><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions</span><br /><ol><li>Cook the Chicken (I like to grill it if the weather cooperates)<br /></li><li>Heat oil in a saucepan and toss in the onion, celery, carrot and bell pepper.

I do most of the cooking for our family, so that meant I was going to have to change the way I shopped. I'm a VERY Frugal shopper, so I tend to go for the cheaper item if it's available.<br /><br />Shopping for only local organic ingredients added about 30% to our weekly food budget, but over the last couple of years I've fine tuned the art of eating well without having to spend gobs of money in the process.<br /><br />This blog will be a place to share some of my tricks and recipes to help you enjoy good food for a reasonably good price. I work full time and we've got a little one who's frequently running around the kitchen while I cook, so not everything I make is from scratch (plus, sometimes I'm lazy) and I'll let you know what boxed/deli prepared foods I use to accompany my main dishes. If you did cook these things from scratch, you can save even more money.<br /><br />Enjoy!Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11959078574460485085noreply@blogger.com0
